I would like to live 6/12 months in a village in a self-governing pacific island.
every now and again, i investigate where that island might be.
i did live on a self-governing pacific island around 40 with my young son for 5 months. it was blissful except for the tiny biting flies. i had tropical ulcers on my legs. the flies did not affect my son or the locals. c’est la vie. it was blissful because, as the people were not colonised, living as nature intended and still self-governing (each region has a chief), the society was sane. and at peace.
regarding my primary photo of 2018 - i have been ill for more than two years from a hidden mould infestation. six weeks ago - August ‘22, we discovered the mould. and solved the mystery of why i was ill. yes, the mould was under the wooden floorboards - i like to sleep on a sleepmat on the floor. i am still recovering so i am not going to take a new photo yet.
i am learning to be retired. i have been a soil consultant for 7 years, as my second career. when covid lockdowns were enforced, i was managing a 100 acres eco beach farm. maintenance kept me outside and fit. the owner returned to the farm and i was out of a job and home. so i moved to Cairns when i am still residing.
i have no idea how much i weigh.
i am average weight and need to shed some around the midriff and arms.
all during the hidden mould infestation, i was mostly sedentary as i was having trouble breathing.
i am about to sign on to a “find a crew” for daily sails to increase my fitness.
this is the first time i have interacted since signing up.
i possibly will not write for a while. as i am probably not able to give this the attention it needs.
perhaps i will be able to when i regain some fitness.
